My friend and I like to play catch with sticks thrown off of the tenors. That actually got me an award from the seniors last year. We also just sit around and split licks.

There's also a random thing we do whenever the time is right; one person will be playing the tenors or something in the drum room and mess up really badly, then throw their sticks on them and let them hit the floor. Then, everyone just throws their sticks on the drum, and eventually other stuff like books, coins...brooms...So there's a pile of sticks, mallets, random junk, and a broom on the floor.

Yes, we're rather destructive.

Not really a game but My friend is pretty amazing at doing paradiddlediddles. We were at band camp and waiting for auditions so he grabed his pad and sticks and went around seeing who could paraddiddlediddle faster with random people in the hall.

Playing vitamin exercises until our arms fall off was something we enjoyed doing. Last man standing gets the twinky. =D

This has absolutely nothing to do with technique or anything, but you could always throw in a good ole' drumstick/ mallet tossing competition =]

Our tenor sets are on the walls with the bottom facing out. So one day Myself and another one of my friends decided hey who can throw a stick into the spock drum from across the percussion. It was a lot of fun. We eventually moved up to throwing a ball of yarn. After that i think we played baseball in our percussion. It rocked

four and forever is always fun.

four counts of sixteenth notes and 32nd note roll for whoever can go the longest. good times.

"Free Basics" or "Pac Man Basics."

Basically the yard lines, hashes, and sidelines are the only places that you can be. One person is it and starts on the center X. Everyone else must MARCH around the field CORRECTLY and try to get away from the person who is it. The it person has their sticks at set position and everyone else has them at their sides. Everyone must move at tempo with a metronome going, and you can go in any direction at any step size (including jazz running) as long as you march correctly. If you're caught marching incorrectly or off step, you have to mark time for 32 counts. When you're tagged, you have to march to the center X and hold there for 60 counts. Then you start throwing in tempo changes. and if anyone crashes into each other, it's pushups. It's a great focus game, and fun as heck too.

I have one that blew my mind the first time I played it.
one guy plays x amount of notes say 8. then your job is to fit y amount of notes within those 8. say 11. your first and last note must line up, and all must be evenly spaced. Time will become quantified in ways you didnt even know existed.

My friends and I in Auxiliary play a drumming game while the pit warms up called "Fred".

You sit in a circle, and you need at least 3 people to play. The exercise itself is just straight 16th notes with an accent pattern of 3 3 4 3 3 3 3 4 6 1. When you play the game, instead of finishing it with an accent on the right hand, you do a rimshot and pass your right stick to the person on the right. Then you tap off faster and start again.

Once you get your stick back, you play the exercise with diddles on the accents. Then again with diddles after the accents. The whole time getting faster. Whoever messes up is out. Try it!
